Last week I attended the Pet Photos with Santa with the proceeds going to the Humane Society.
I was not the main photographer, that is why Santa was not looking at me.

Hereis the picture of my two bunnies.

These pictures aresome rabbits availablefor adoption on Dec. 16 (Tuesday). That is some of the food I brought in for them.
Unfortunately anothergroup of bunnies were turned in on Dec. 18 (Thursday). I haven't seen them yet.

:shock:Wow, I'd like to take the whole group. It's sad they have so many bunnies but at least their situations are improving. I hope they all find homes very soon.

That group of eight bunnies was fostered by a local breeder backin November to make sure none of them were pregnant.

Here are some pictures of them on Nov 11 at the breeders house.

My sister is possibly moving out to Edmonton and if the boys and the apt will let her have a bunny i want her to get the White and Black one that looks like she's got the helicopter ears....

Iam not sure ofthe name of theone in the group photo.
But here is Basil with some uppity ears. He is one of many white and black bunnies there.

Basil is a male mini lop cross.

How about Johnny Town-Mouse. He is an 8 month male lop eared cross.

They r both cute but i like Basil the best. But i guess it's not up to me either.

You're a concerned volunteer & human-friend to everybun you head stroke, or see, or hold, at the shelter.

Wish there weren't so many at shelters... waiting to be adopted.

Thanks for posting the photo,

Thanks TreasuredFriend. There are so many rabbits now that they have to cage 4 or 5 together. They opened up 4 dog kennels to keep 6-8 rabbits in each kennel. People are not adopting rabbits at the moment, as most people who wanted rabbits beforegot them already.

Here are some of the younger rabbits in a cage.

Thisis anew rabbit with no name. He has an Animal Id: 14036 a Mini Lop cross, Male Adult.

This week, the Edmonton Humane Society is having a "Home for the Holidays" Companion Week - Dec. 26 to Dec 31, 2008. They started this campaign on Dec 26 after Christmas so people won't pick up a pet on impulse as a gift, but would have time to consider a pet after the busy holidays are over.

They are offering cats at half price, and 2 rabbits for the price of 1. On "Boxing Day" (Dec.26) they set a record of82 adopted pets in one day.

This pair was a the shelter on Christmas day, but I didn't see them on Saturday when I brought more food in. I had my eyes on them because the one rabbit had curly fur which only a few breeders in the area had.

Here is Jet. She was featured on TV last week. She has been at the shelter for over 2 months now.

Jet is an Adult female Bunny rabbit cross.

These pictures break my heart . They are all such beautiful rabbits, and there are soooo many of them.

Stan, of the 82 adoptions, do you know if any of them were rabbits?

I think most of the adoptions were cats, because it was a very good price for a fixed cat.
Even people were asking me where the cats were when I wasin the rabbit room.

It is hard to remember eachrabbit when there are so many in a cage. But I am sure some rabbits weretaken.
But people usually go for the babies and the cutest ones.

There was a potbelly pig (Cash) that got adopted fairly quickly. Heate 1/3 of the food that I brought in for the rabbits on Wednesday. :shock:
Lucky I hadmore than enough food for everyone.

OMG Stan that Pot Belly Pig is so cute. I told Chris i always wanted one. Of course he thinks I'm nuts and said NO, can you believe he said no to that.

He was a favorite of the staff.
There is a bylaw in Edmonton that you are not allowed to own one in the city. So the person who adopted him must live outside the city limits.

I don't know how many of the 82 on Boxing Day that were rabbits but over the entire weekend a total of 144 animals were adopted, only 10 of those were rabbits.

I love the group of black and white bunnies! Do you think the curly-haired bunny is a Plush Lop?

So many were looking for cats, and I think all of thecatswere taken. On Tuesday (Dec.29) there were 70 to 80 rabbits still.
The adoption list shows about 49 rabbits, but there were many that didn't have names yet.

Here are 4 dog kennels they used that have about 10 rabbits in each.

I had a feeling it was. I didn't have time to check it out or get her name. The next time I went in, the two were gone.
